COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTIONThe Noordhoek Ostrich Farm and Resort has been offering visitors an oasis of silence, tranquility and green pasture since 1997. In 2001 we began offering our guests fresh, homemade ale, "Struise Witte" was born. The dutch word for "ostriches" is "struisvogels" or "Struise", but the same word can also mean "sturdy" or "robust". This "Robust White" is a living wheat beer of high fermentation, unfiltered and unpasteurized. Brewed with natural ingredients, bottle conditioned in 33 cl bottles.

Shared a 33cl bottle from the brewery. Pours a hazy pale yellow colour with almost no head. Aroma is spicy, cloves, citrus and slightly fruity. Average to soft carbonation and light body. Taste is light bitter and light sweet with a dry finish. Overall, a good and refreshing beer.

Bottle at home. Pours a murky amber color with a small and quickly disappearing white head. Aroma of yeast and fruits. Primary taste is citrussy, but has a complex fruity flavour with notes of wheat, grass, yeast and various spices. Pretty full body for a witbier. Dry, citrussy and a bit sour aftertaste. Not really my kind of beer but okay, although I probably shouldn’t have let it warm up as much as I did.
